God, a lover of symmetry
One of the most intriguing things about this universe is the
symmetry that one finds everywhere. It is just pervaded by
symmetry. God must be a lover of symmetry. The human body is
symmetric. So are the bodies of all mammals, birds, reptiles,
fish, insects, etc.. All that walks, crawls or swims.
Consider all the parts of the bodies of all these creatures ---
hands, feet, eyes, ears, nose, internal organs --- and see all
the intriguing symmetry. Consider the forms of all the plants,
grasses and herbs of the field; of the trees, bushes and
shrubs of the forest. See the intriguing symmetry in their
general shapes. And look at the symmetry in their parts. See
the symmetry of their leaves, their flowers, stems and root
systems. All living things that God has made are characterized
by an intriguing amount of symmetry. And one can also find
symmetry outside the living things. Consider the many varied
types of crystals in the mineral world. Consider the
raindrops. Consider the snowflakes. Consider the heavenly
bodies --- the sun, moon, stars, and planets (they are
spherical). Consider their motions (ellipses). Symmetry
everywhere. Is there some hidden meaning in all this symmetry?
Some deep, mystical, spiritual meaning? To me it is all the
unique mark, the signature, the fingerprint of the Most High
God, Lord of the Universe. So also are all the intricate and
remarkable processes and mechanisms of growth, reproduction,
etc. that govern living things; and all the intriguing
physical laws that govern everything.
